Sexy Cat and Takka Bullet possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. TAKKA BULLET (3) was well fancied last start over 1230m at this track when third. Goes well at this trip, recording four minor placings and shapes as a key contender. SEXY CAT (1) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at her last couple of runs including a second most recently over 1230m at this track when beaten 0.8 lengths. Osamu Shimohara sticks. Should be in the finish. YUINO OTOKOYAMA (9) finished fifth last start over 1400m at this track in an improved run. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Meets a stronger field but he is up to the task. KISS UMAI (6) ran a better race last start, finishing fourth over 1230m at this track. Looks one for the minors.
